The Welsummer Thread!!!!

[WoofMeowCluck]

I have a next to impossible wish but thought I'd post it here anyway.

I need to preface this with 1) SQ isn't important, we have no roosters so there will never be any 1/2 Wellies running around. 2) HEALTH and egg color is of the utmost importance. 3) We have pred proof coops & runs, a huge fenced in field for free ranging. Life is pretty darned good here for our chickens. 4) Must be NPIP

We can comfortably add 2 to 3 Welsummer pullets to our flock. Unfortunately, they need to be between the ages of 11 to 14 weeks (now) so that after quarantine they are the same age as the chickens in their coop. I want to keep the coop drama to an absolute minumum.

I've thought about looking for Wellies at the National this fall (at that time the age would need to be POL), but, I'm a Germ Freak, but still open to the idea. We've never had a sick chicken.

I had two Wellies from a Hatchery but their eggs were a very light tan, not what a true Welsummer egg should be.

Shipping would be fine, just not right now as it's just too hot.

Please feel free to PM or E-mail. Thanks for reading this!

You probably would have BETTER luck finding them at the Nationals. I am sure a breeder would meet you there!

Thank you! Do you think this the best place to put out the word that I am interested in purchasing 2 or 3 POL Wellies at the National or should I be writing to Breeders instead? I know it's a difficult age to buy, but, as I said I'd like to keep the coop drama to a minimum if at all possible.

Thanks again!

Oop's, forgot to ask... is there a special thread or web site dedicated to the National where I might find more information?

Thanks!

Good luck finding some wellies wolfmeowcluck!

First wellie is out and dry, another egg is pipped. Here's the baby with a black and a splash 2nd generation olive eggers. (I'm thinking the wellie is a boy, what do you think?) The flash really washed out the colors.
